New Poll - Anime Adaptations

Before I discuss the new poll, do you guys remember the series of demographic polls? For each poll, the top 5 most suggested series (on the forum) were put on the public poll. Well, here's the file that contains how many suggestions each series got:

(Note: Because of the polls, we realize that the demographics of different series need some work, so it may be that in the future, certain series will be located in different demographics)

This new poll about anime adaptations and how you like them was suggested by our member Regnak.

You can discuss this poll on our forums here:

"Naruto beats One Piece?" No no. O_O Ninjas is just more associated with Japan. And they're cool.

Branch off into a different GOOD plot by kanosa on October 17th, 2009, 5:19pm

Like FMA. I love both versions of FMA :] The anime- though different -was really good! The plot wasn't just trying to end the anime without the true manga ending- but had humor and thought invoking dialogue and events. Actually- I even prefer the anime (not the Brotherhood one- though I need to watch it soon :]) But so far- FMA is just the exception. I usually hate anime adaptions that try to change it up (such as Kurshitsuji .___.) The Death Note anime I liked- but the episode where L died . . . SO MUCH HO-YAY LOL

It depends by imp4ever on October 17th, 2009, 6:45pm

It really really depends. By new content, does that mean new plot devices? Like a new side character or a short filler like segment? As long as it doesn't get too out of hand, I don't mind. But I prefer to stick with the manga. While if it's just a short little gag scene, or some extra fighting, I don't mind if they add that in. So it would depend on how much they'd be changing...

i read the poll as 1) keep the same story plot with no filler. 2) main story with extra filler arcs (see naruto, bleach, etc) 3) entirely filler/ different story (see rosario vampire) 4) no anime personally i consider adding small non-story/plot related content (things to fill up time) as not filler. so, at least by my opinion, adding minor gags and a making the fighting little longer still counts as the same (choice 1) anything beyond that would go into the second catagory
